Simon,

Factory parts list shows that the fiberglass tunnel is held in place 
with 6 PTZ807 (7/8" long) and 2 PTZ808 (1" long) screws. Underneath the 
head of each screw is a flat washer (53K3157) and a rubber grommet 
(AHB9268) in the tunnel's flanges that the screws go through.

Cheers,

Bob Haskell

Normally the tunnel cover is held by screws, Phillips head. However over th=
e years of taking off the cover and putting it back on, these will get loos=
e. What I have done is use some =93T=94 nuts in place of the holes for the =
screws and I use machined screws to hold down the tunnel and no matter how =
many times in remove it or put it back on, the =93T=94 nuts do not move and=
 hold everything tight.

Subject: [Healeys] Tunnel cover nuts and bolts.

Dealing with my overdrive has led me to remove the tunnel cover on my car w=
hich is a MkII BT7 centre-shift.
The tunnel cover is held down by nuts that tighten down onto bolts which co=
me up through the floor pan. A couple of mine are broken off and the rest a=
re a pretty average dog=92s breakfast. I haven=92t looked underneath but I=
=92d guess that the bolts are spot-welded to the floor pan from underneath?=
??
Am I right?
And what size are these nuts and bolts?
Thanks,
Simon
